Overview

Wyoming is wide open with many sparsely populated areas. Thanks to this, it is able to attract tourists who like to spend time in the outdoors. Because the state features warm summers and snowy winters, guests who visit the attractions here can do anything from hiking and camping to skiing and ice fishing.

Jackson Hole

Jackson Hole (jacksonholechamber.com) is a small Old West-style town not far from the Idaho border. Simply reaching it is somewhat difficult, as the roads that lead to Jackson Hole run along steep mountainsides. Visitors will find a number of shops in the downtown area that are decorated with a rustic Western decor on the interior as well as exterior. The town is within 10 miles of the Grand Targhee Ski Resort, is home to the Bar-J Wranglers cowboy singing group and features a Ripley's Believe It or Not Museum.

Yellowstone National Park

There are two Wyoming entrances into Yellowstone National Park (nps.gov). The east entrance is on Highway 20 and the south entrance is on Highway 89. The park is home to some of the country's most famous landmarks, including the Old Faithful geyser, which spews steam and water every hour to hour and a half. Eruptions last around two and a half minutes. The park also features deep canyons and boiling mud pits. It has hotels as well as tent and RV spots.

Ames Pyramid

The Ames Pyramid sticks out like a sore thumb from the surrounding empty plains. This pyramid was built in 1882 in honor of Pacific Union Railroad businessmen and politicians Oakes and Oliver Ames. After the completion of the pyramid, people found out the Ames brothers had been involved in a number of shady deals that resulted in the construction of the railroad. Although the tracks originally ran by this monument, the route the trains followed was moved south, leaving the monument as a lone landmark in a mostly barren area. The pyramid is located near Laramie, about 40 miles west of Cheyenne.
